Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 1030: Chapter 1029: Hu Xiexie’s Mother

Su Yang already had quite a few enemies, but those who could be in the advanced class of Qinghe Academy all had complicated backgrounds. With these additional enemies, what would Su Yang do in the future?

”Su Yang, you... you can’t do this...” Hu Xiexie said nervously, ”You... you should know that those who enter the advanced class are no ordinary people. Even those geniuses without backgrounds, they get support from someone after making a name for themselves. Just take Wu Feizhi, for example, he definitely has the backing of a major power. You... if you do this, you will attract a lot of enemies!”

”Hehe...” Su Yang chuckled lightly, ”Have I, Su Yang, ever acted with fear of those major powers and been timorous in my actions?”

Hu Xiexie fell silent, Su Yang always behaved like this. Once he decided to do something, even if he faced a Terrestrial Immortal, he would absolutely persevere.

”Remember, you are my friend,” Su Yang said softly, ”What you need to do becomes my business. If you want to be in the top ten of the advanced class, then I will help you fight for it, no one can stop me. Regardless of the backing of major families or significant figures behind them, I will not be afraid!”

Hu Xiexie couldn’t help it any longer and buried her face in Su Yang’s chest, sobbing.

Su Yang was stunned; he hadn’t expected this outcome and had no idea what to do at the moment. In the end, all he could do was gently pat Hu Xiexie’s shoulder as a small gesture of comfort.

After crying for a while, Hu Xiexie slowly lifted her head, her eyes red and swollen, but her complexion much improved. She took a deep breath and said in a low voice, ”You asked me before why I came to Qinghe Academy. I... I never told you because I really didn’t want to worry you. But now that you are going to do these things, I’ll tell you.”

Su Yang immediately straightened up. Hu Xiexie might be about to reveal some secrets about Qinghe Academy, right?

”You’ve been to my home and met many of my family members, you’ve even met my uncle. But...” Hu Xiexie’s voice was melancholic, ”Have you ever wondered why you’ve never seen my mother from beginning to end?”

This made Su Yang startle. Indeed, he had thought about this question before. He had been to Hu Xiexie’s house a few times, but had never met her mother. Moreover, no one ever mentioned Hu Xiexie’s mother when speaking about her family. What was this situation?

Previously, Su Yang had suspected that Hu Xiexie’s mother might have passed away, but he couldn’t simply ask directly for fear of hurting Hu Xiexie. Now that she had brought it up herself, Su Yang was even more puzzled.

Hu Xiexie was supposed to be talking about Qinghe Academy, so how did it involve her mother?

Seeing Su Yang’s astonished expression, Hu Xiexie said softly, ”Not long after I was born, my mother was not around anymore.”

”What?” Su Yang’s eyes widened. Hu Xiexie’s background seemed rather pitiable.

”Don’t misunderstand, I mean my mother has not been by my side.” Hu Xiexie hastily clarified, ”She’s still alive, but, all these years, I haven’t seen her at all. I only have a few photos of her.”

”Why?” Su Yang asked in surprise. What mother could bear to leave her newborn daughter? Furthermore, Hu Xiexie’s father was the richest man in Nanluo City, and the family wasn’t poor. In addition, Su Yang had met Hu Xiexie’s father, a man of integrity who hadn’t looked for any other woman for many years, so there shouldn’t have been a significant conflict with Hu Xiexie’s mother, should there?

”Because she was kidnapped,” Hu Xiexie said in a low voice.

”What?” Su Yang’s eyes widened again, ”Who kidnapped her? Why? Has she been kidnapped for many years?”

”I don’t know who kidnapped her. My father told me that, and my uncle said the same,” Hu Xiexie said quietly, ”When I was little, other children all had their mothers’ love, but I did not. So, I often went home crying, asking my father to bring back my mother. I didn’t understand back then, not knowing why there was such helplessness on my father’s face. Later, when I grew up, my uncle finally told me about these things. My father... he wanted to bring back my mother even more than me, but he simply didn’t have the ability...”

Su Yang frowned. Hu Xiexie’s father was the richest man in Nanluo City, and her uncle Li Wanxiong wasn’t weak either. It was said that the strength of Hu Xiexie’s maternal grandfather’s family was also formidable. Together with her father, they were still unable to resolve this matter. What sort of major power had kidnapped Hu Xiexie’s mother?

Furthermore, Hu Xiexie mentioning this matter now, could it also be related to Qinghe Academy?

”When I was eight, my uncle couldn’t bear to see me suffering anymore, so he told me in secret. If I became very strong, I could see my mother,” Hu Xiexie looked at Su Yang and said softly, ”So, from that moment, I set aside everything else and focused on martial arts; I have to find my mother!”

Su Yang finally understood why Hu Xiexie was training so hard. So, she had such anguish in her heart.

”Initially, my uncle only told me that as long as I became strong enough, I could see my mother. But he didn’t tell me how.” Hu Xiexie continued, ”Later, after I met you and learned the Guang Han Technique, entering the Integration Realm, my uncle finally revealed that if I wanted to see my mother, I had to come to Qinghe Academy and rank in the top ten of the advanced class!”

At that point, Hu Xiexie glanced at Su Yang and said in a low voice, ”I didn’t want to tell you this because I know the competition in the advanced class here is too fierce. I... I didn’t want to make too many enemies for you because of me...”

”So today you went alone to face the challenge of those three from Capital City?” Su Yang sighed.

”I... I need to at least get into the advanced class...” Hu Xiexie said quietly, ”As long as I’m strong enough, I can enter the advanced class early. If I can defeat them, then... then I’ll have the qualifications to join the advanced class...”

Su Yang looked into Hu Xiexie’s eyes, feeling her determination to join the advanced class.

Su Yang didn’t know why Hu Xiexie becoming a top ten member of the advanced class could allow her to see her mother. However, as he had said earlier, Hu Xiexie’s affairs were his affairs, as well, so he naturally wouldn’t stand idly by.

”To enter the advanced class, you don’t need to defeat them!” Su Yang said softly, ”We just need to make the majority of the students in this school withdraw, and once there are only a little over a hundred left, that should do it!”
